Dawid Sierakowiak’s Diary

We already know how much Matzo will cost. 2.5kg of Matzo (a portion for 1 person for 8 days of Passover) costs as much as 3 Rm [Reichsmark] 25 Pf [Pfennigs]. It is only rye flour. It is obvious that for holiday we will buy bread even though mom, for sentimental-religious reasons, would prefer Matzo; a budget of an illegal worker does not allow for that. Anyway, we also sell bread to buy food rations. Starvation diet during holiday will be the same as everyday one.
